He was the eldest of four sons and next
to the first Of seven children of Hon james
Barrett, and was born in Woodstock, Dec
20, 1881. He was graduated with honor at
Dartmouth college in 1874, and having
studied law under the thorough training of
his father, was admitted to the bar at the
May term of the Windsor county court in
1871 He Immediately went to Rutland and
opened an office, and from the first enjoyed
a good and increasing practice Members
Of the court and older members of the bar
regarded him rs the best-equipped lawyer
of his age in the state He was married in
1878 to Miss Mary Whitney of Woodstock
He leaves a son and daughter, aged seven
and five years respectively.
A correspondent of the Springfield Re
publican sums up the universal estimate of
Mr.. Barrett when he says; His mind was
singularly like that of his distinguished
father in its quickness and clearness, and
his thorough legal knowledge and vigorous
intellect had already gained him a profes-
sional distinction far beyond his years, The
life thus unthnely cut off not only promised
future professional eminence, but had al
ready displayed great integrity and purity
of manhood, aud exerted positive force
for good citizenship in his town He was a
prominent and valued member of the Con
gregational church at Rutland and had
served profitably upon the school committee
and in other places of responsibility.

THE DEADLY CHUTE.
shocking TOboggnn Accident nj Rut-
land.

JAMES C. BARRETT, ESQ, son OF Ex-JUDGE
BARRETT, FATALLY HURT AND MRS. c. p.
HARRIS SERIOUSLY INJURED.
The Rutland Herald gives this account of
IA terrible accident which happened at that
place on Monday evening
About half past nine last evening, James
&. Barrett, one Of the leading lawyers in
Rutland, was fatally hurt while toboggan-
ing at Titcomb and MerTil's chute, and
Mrs Charles =. Harris sustained u severe
cash in her thigh. 1t appears that board
which formed part Of the side of the slide.
below the chute, had become splintered and
displaced by boys passing over it, and il
projected into the slide pointing upward.
-Four young men had just passed it, and
their clothes had been torn bv il. boy
Informed Mr. Titcomb and he ran to re
move it, but just that instant toboggGn
bearing Mrs Barrett Mrs Harris and Mr.
Barrett, in the order named, dashed down
the chute and Mr. Titcomb was a few seconds
too late to remove the danger Mrs Bar
rett passed the obstruction without touch
ing it, but it struck Mrs Harris ON the out
side of the thigh and cut long, deep CASH
coming out near the hip. Then it struck
Mr.. Barrett on the under and inner side of
the thigh, extending up through it and
through his abdomen, coming out at his
back He was thrown from the toboggan
but the ladies went ON the foot Of the slide
Mr. Barrett was transiiXed by the board
and it protruded several inches from his
body.
Mr. Titcomb called help and carried him
into the little building used as IA warming
room Medical aid was at once summoned
and in a few minutes he was attended by
Drs. Caverly Pond, Mead and Gale They
etherizei him, sawed off the board and re
moved it, sewing up his fearful wounds as
best they could, and then removing him u
| his home.
Mr.. Barrett was fully conscious and real
lied his great danger His first call was
for his wife, and when she arrived he kiss
ed her and asked her to pray with him.
Both prayed and when the doctors were
about to etherize him, he asked them, one
after another about the probabilities. They
/ gave him such hope as they could for tenn
/ porary relief and he calmly submitted to
the operation.
/ They found that his intestines were rup-
tured and that the board, several inches
wide and badly splmtered, had fearfully
lacerated the flesh.
Mr.. Barrett fingered until II 80 Tuesday
night, when death came
/ Mrs Harris's injury, although severe
and painful, is not dangerous, and she will
recover in due time

1t appears that the explosion of bomb
last week in the Grand Opera house at San
Francisco was not an attempt to take the
life of Patti, but rather of j. c. Flood, the
bonanza millionaire, who occupied box
opposite. People who sat near the bomb
thrower, Hodge, say that when he lighted
the bomb and rose to throw it he exclaimed,
Death to Flood and all tyrants I" Previ-
ously he had been talking against the rich.
He is "A well-known crank, and lived alone.
The filthy premises which he occupied were
found to contain anarchist literature and
explosive material. 1t was some newspaper
men who prevented a panic in the audience
when the explosion took place. From their
stage box they took in the whole situation,
saw that the danger was over before the
audience realized what had happened, and
beckoned Patti to come forward from the
place in the wings where she was standing
She comprehended, walked smiling to the
footlights and sang Home, Sweet Home ="
Everybody was bound not to run till the
last note was finished, and there was no
panic

After nearly year and a half Congress
has appropriated money to indemnify the
victims of the massacre of Cinnamon at
Rock Springs, Wyoming, in September,
1885. The bill sent to the House by the
Senate was replaced by another which ap-
propriated Sl41, 74S.74, the exact amount
determined by the agents of the Chinese
government, to be paid over to that govern
ment and distributed among the sufferers at
its discretion. The Senate bill had appro-
priated $50, 600, to be distributed by a COM
mission appointed by the President. Mr..
Edmunds said the House bill accomplished
the same end in a simpler manner, and the
bill was passed without debate or objection
The President, in his last message, urged
this matter very earnestly upon the atten-
ton of Congress.

1t does not comport with the seriousness
of the occasion or the mood of the people
when ex-Gov- Smith says, with what seems
to be a vein of sarcasm, 81 notice that
some of the newspapers say that the coal
stove must go, but will they tell us what TO
substitute Z" The thing for exGov. Smith
and the rest of the Central Vermont man
agement to do is not to ask somebody else
what they are to do, but to 90 to work in
earnest and at once with other leading rail
road corporations TO find out what is the
best available substitute for the coal stoves.
After long delay the prudential commit
tee of the American Board of Foreign Mis-
sious have decided TO send the Rev Robert
A. Hume back TO his missionary work in
India. Mr.. Hume thought there was "A
chance that unenlightened heather might
have a chance after death to be saved, and
the committee held this to be dangerous
departure from sound doctrine, but their
action called out so many protests and so
much feeling was aroused on account of
the faithful and devoted work done by Mr.
Hume that they have surrendered as wis
er course than to carry the matter to fur
ther and final issue.
